Its official, the baby has eczema. Yuk! Yuk! She scratches her face and her bleeding starts. When we wake up in the morning we have to change her bedding becuz of blood stains. Not much but still enough to leave pin size marks. poor baby, i know!
Last nite we ate Tacos for dinner. Rhyan enjoyed it more becuz it was ala carte. I placed all the fixings on the table with her 'naked' taco. She had a blast decorating her tacos. Surprisingly, she ate more veggies that way. WOW! If i made her tacos for her. She always complained about eating the veggies. I watched silently as she grabbed more and more veggies b4 every bite. WOW! I say again. really im shocked.
I asked Ryan to help set the table. I repeated asked for her to grab the napkins, cheese, and cups. She wasnt listening. Usually I have to scream over and over to get her attention. But not last nite. I've been trying another approach when her ears decide not to work. Selective hearing, really. When she wants to hear what you have to say, she'll absorb it. otherwise, in the ear and out the other.
In a calm voice I repeated, "Rhyan, Rhyan, Rhyan, Rhyan." of course several times. Till finally she looks over at me, "yes, mom". Our eyes meet and I say calmly, "cheese."
Rhyan's eyes are already on me, she immediately breaks into a big grin and poses for a long while. I look back at the tomato's and lettuce that im working on. Glimpse back at her and shes still in the same pose and smiling from ear to ear. lol!
I burst into laughter and almost pee my pants. It dawns on me. She reverted back to her toddler days when we would ask her to say cheese and smile big for the camera. (im still laughing)Dominick's bouncing reagan on his lap only feet away and see's what has happened and begins to chuckle.
Rhyan's clueless as to why we're laughing.
I tell her, "Rhy, get the cheese out you silly girl!"
She chuckles alittle and says, " Oh!"
It was the cutest moment Ive had with Rhy in a very long time. *grin grin*
